Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted November 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 5, 2018 I tell you what @Rossman you've understood the Berchelt v Roman fight. What an incredible fight, definitely a contender for fight of the year. If you haven't seen it you really need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 6, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Where did the Berchelt vs Roman fight air here? I’ve got loads of shit recorded that I haven’t got to watch yet. Hopefully it’s sat in my planner. Edited November 6, 2018 by wandshogun09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 As I am prone to do, I was watching some "Hype jobs" vids on Youtube and there was one guy who is still active and hasn't lost called Prince Patel. Â Fuck me, what a fucking whopper he is. Â I'd never heard of him and would've gone through life a bit better had I kept it that way. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 6, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 6, 2018 yeh, Patel was promoted by Frank Warren at one point. He made a couple of infamous appearences on Bunces Boxing Hour a few years back. He seems to box abroad these days though. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 A clip of that was in the vid I watched, looks like he keeps his record packed with easy wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossman Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Patel's a massive plonker who would get spanked if he fought anyone semi-credible in this country. He had 4 fights in March & April this year and of those 4 fighters, they had a combined record of 5 fights. Here's the Berchelt / Roman fight. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6wn0z6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) "Don't start mugging me off on my own channel" - 19:20 But aye, Patel is a right helmet. The Colby Covington of boxing, just much less talented.  Edited November 7, 2018 by jimufctna24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Well, he's already made me want to tune in and see him lose, so I guess it's job done from that perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) I can’t see past Usyk winning myself. I was convinced David Haye was going to beat Bellew the second time though so shows what I know. But Usyk is a different animal to Haye and his porcelain bones. Usyk is in his prime and he looks fantastic at the moment. I saw someone recently, I forget who, say Usyk is like a big Lomachenko and I think it’s spot on. I’ve never been a fan of Bellew but I’ve got to give him his due for taking this fight on. I’m sure there are easier fights he could’ve chosen for his swansong, and maybe even more lucrative too, but he’s going for a legacy fight against an absolute bastard of an opponent. I just think Usyk will be too much. I’m thinking a stoppage around the 9th. Edited November 7, 2018 by wandshogun09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkchopcash Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Cant see a stoppage tbf, cant see past a decent points win for Usyk.  Would like Bellew to chin him though. Dont think it will be a great fight. Can see Bellew starting slow looking for angles and getting outboxed, then trying to come on strong in the second half and land a Haymaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll end up a lop-sided decision or Coldwell will pull Bellew out late though. You just know Bellew will lay it on thick and start promoting a possible AJ/Usyk fight in the post-fight interview "that is the best man ive ever been in the ring with, its as simple as that", Bellew's just as good at promoting othet fighters as he is himself.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted November 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted November 7, 2018 Yeah that’s what I meant when I said I thought Usyk might stop him. A corner stoppage or the ref waving it off on an accumulation of punishment. I’m not expecting Usyk to flatten him or anything. What kind of dough is Bellew getting for this, anyone know? It must be a big payday but considering Usyk isn’t exactly a superstar, or even really well known outside the Boxing bubble, it probably doesn’t do huge numbers on PPV surely. It’s not like there’s a grudge and the undercard isn’t stacked either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
